Brown BLog Predicts: AFC North 2025

The toughest division in the NFL promises to be exciting and competitive again in 2025.

Here are my predictions for each team:


First Place:  Baltimore Ravens  12-5

- The Ravens are the best coached and most talented team in the AFC North

- John Harbaugh has built a Growth Mindset.  Athletes that the Ravens select improve year to year at a greater rate than any other NFL team. 

- Lamar Jackson is amazing, determined and it's only a matter of time before he has a Super Bowl ring

- The Ravens defensive backfield was a weakness in 2024.  This season the addition of Jaire Alexander and Malaki Starks transform that group.

- Mike Green will help an already strong defensive line. 


Second Place:  Cincinnati Bengals 11-6

- The Bengals have Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins and Chase Brown.  30 points or more is a probability every time they step on the field 

- Al Golden needs to get the Bengals defense to improve from terrible to mediocre.  A scheme that keeps things simple and Shermar Stewart flashing potential should help the Bengals keep their opponents under 24 points a game often enough to battle the Ravens for first all season long. 


Third Place:  Pittsburgh Steelers  10-7

- The Steelers have Mike Tomlin 

- The Steelers D will be as great as they always are

- Aaron Rodgers to DK Metcalf - all year long!


Last Place:  Cleveland Browns  5-12

- The NFL hung a miserable schedule on the Browns, as they continue to punish the Browns for $230,000,000 fully guaranteed.  With that tough start, the Browns are bound to play well and still start 0-6 or 1-5 and it'll be onto Dillon Gabriel, who won't be ready for prime time.
